Thrombus Formation on Amplatzer Septal Occluder Device: Pinning Down the Cause
The use of interatrial septal occluder devices is an efficacious and less invasive alternative to open heart surgery for the repair of atrial septal defects. These devices present significant risks including thrombus formation on the device and subsequent thromboembolic events. We present a case of a woman who presented with stroke-like symptoms five years after PFO closure. The patient was sub...
متن کاملLate Bacterial Endocarditis and Abscess Formation After Implantation of an Amplatzer Septal Occluder Device.
A 37-year-old man was referred to our emergency department after 4 days of a spiking fever of up to 40°C, myalgia, and new development of multiple, small, nontender erythematous macular lesions on his palms and soles compatible with Janeway lesions (Figure 1). He had a history of a large secundum atrial septal defect for which he underwent transcatheter closure with a 24-mm Amplatzer septal occ...
متن کاملHuge thrombus formation 1 year after percutaneous closure of an atrial septal defect with an Amplatzer septal occluder
The Amplatzer septal occluder (ASO) has become the device of choice for interventional closure of atrial septal defects (ASDs) in many institutions during the last decades. Although excellent results have been reported for the device, concerns have arisen about the long-term complications (1). Of these complications, thrombus formation was rarely seen after 1 year in patients (2–4). This is the...
متن کاملCardiac perforation after device closure of atrial septal defects with the Amplatzer septal occluder.
OBJECTIVES Amplatzer septal occluder (ASO)-associated cardiac perforation (CP) at our institution prompted this retrospective review. BACKGROUND Cardiac perforation is a rare complication after transcatheter atrial septal defect (ASD) closure. METHODS To identify CP after transcatheter ASD closure with ASO, cardiac events (CE) describing definite CP, hemopericardium, pericardial effusion, c...
متن کاملTranscatheter retrieval of embolized AMPLATZER Septal Occluder.
In selected patients, transcatheter closure of atrial septal defects with the AMPLATZER Septal Occluder has yielded excellent results. However, there is a slight risk of device embolization after deployment. We report the case of a 26-year-old woman in whom an embolized AMPLATZER device was retrieved percutaneously from the right pulmonary artery. We also discuss important technical principles ...
